[ga] More Phishing problems not in ICANN's report: New Zealand University eMail Server Used to Send Spam

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Seems ICANN's own COB's home countries main universities
is also engaged in Phishing...  I for one am not surprised...

See:
Four staff members at the University of Otago (New Zealand) fell prey
to a spear phishing attack that tricked them into providing their login
credentials.  The attackers used the information to gain access to the
University's computer email server and used it to send about 1.55
million spam emails.  The phishing emails appeared to come from the
University's IT department; the recipients were asked to provide user
names and passwords or else their access to email would be revoked.
University of Otago staff members have been warned that requests for
login information are "most likely fraudulent."
